    Trade Topic

    Didn't really see a trade topic anywhere on the forum. Would be cool to have one where members list items they're willing to trade and what type of things they're looking for. Not even sure if it's allowed, but I don't see why not. I'll start it...         I have... Optimum No Rinse...

    5 month old Opti-coat high spot correction?

    I had someone detail and apply Opti-coat 2.0 to my garage queen 5 months ago. It looked great when I picked it up in his garage lighting. The car is black, and when it's out in the sun and especially an overcast day, there are a lot of Opti-coat high spots that are very obvious. It's been 5...

    DR Colorchip shelf life once opened?

    Thinking about ordering a Dr Colorchip kit for some chip repairs. Is this a one time use kit or does the paint last awhile once opened? Just curious because the paint dries so fast when applied, figured it might dry out in the bottle once opened?

    Opticoat on soft single stage paint?

    Anyone have experience with OC on soft ss paint? I have a classic car with an old black ss paint job. It's getting to the point that I'm worried that the paint is getting thin from all the polishing over the years. This paint is extremely soft, but looks great when freshly polished. Thinking the...

    Can I get away with a "Cleaner Wax" in this situation?

    Haze keeps coming back?

    The last detail products used were Optimum Polish, Poly-Seal, and Collinite Insulator wax. I keep getting a haze over the black paint. I use a QD and wipe it away, but the next day it is back. Is Collinite Insulator Wax known to haze at all? I'm thinking of going over the car with Meguiar's #26...

    Menzerna FPII not made by Menzerna Germany?

    I was all set to place an order through autogeek but couldn't find the FPII. I hit up the "Live Help" and asked if they carry it since they have Menzerna products. He said Menzerna from Germany does not make a FPII? :confused: He said it must be made by another company or relabeled by someone...

    Check out Lightman's work on my Chevelle!

    I finally got my baby’s paint detailed by an Autopian! Lightman did the detail for me a week or so ago and I just want to show off his work(and my shiny car). To start, my paint would of been considered to be in bad shape by anyone close to Autopian standards. It’s a single stage...

    I was directed here by someone on a Chevelle forum and now I'm more confused on what Microfiber towels to buy. Please help! My main purpose for a MF towel is using it with a quick detail spray. I have a beautiful black paint job, but it's lacquer so very delicate. Looking for a good towel...
